What will I learn?
You will study the historical foundations of constitutional government and the major methods judges and scholars use to interpret constitutional text. You will analyse how legislative, executive, and judicial powers are structured and constrained through checks and balances. The course covers federalism, judicial review, and the full spectrum of fundamental rights and civil liberties. You will also examine how political institutions function within democratic systems and how constitutions change over time. Supplementary modules address international human rights law, administrative agencies, comparative constitutional systems, and the constitutional challenges posed by digital technology.
